During a time of year when the box office itself is ordinarily dreary, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs brought a ray of sunshine to theater owners as it collected $30.3 million and gave the overall box office a 14-percent lift over the comparable weekend a year ago. Other new releases, however, reverted to September form, especially the much-touted Jennifer's Body , which brought in just $6.9 million. Universal's Love Happens , starring Megan Fox, did moderately better business, earning $8.1 million, largely on the strength of its cast, which included Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart. Its reviews were generally atrocious. (Typical was Kyle Smith's in the New York Post , who remarked that the title obviously derives from a two-word phrase that begins with a different four-letter word. "Come to think of it," he commented, "that would have made a far more accurate label for this film.") The only new film that was not an outright flop was the Matt Damon starrer, The Informant!, which brought in $10.5 million. Meanwhile, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds added another $3.8 million to its gross, which now stands at $110.1 million, putting it ahead of Tarantino' biggest previous hit, Pulp Fiction, in overall ticket sales.
